As I have been saying for a while this is going to happen and we need to start talking about it and pushing for it. We have to MAKE it happen
If we take the defeatist approach that some Dems take—that he'll just magically disappear, or that we can just wait until Jan. 2029, ... (1/3)
Tucker thought Trump would be his useful idiot, not the other way around.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙
Even if that were true, it'd still be several points higher than the average IQ of a Republican member of Congress.
For me at least, at this point I'm less concerned about who's fault it is than I am about finding who's going to fix it.
We’re at the point where the President says something, and we wait for the LEGO video to see if what he said is true.
His version of the Pan Bondi debacle before Congress as she desperately tried to hang on to her job.
That's not fair - it's been pretty clear for awhile that we don't have a plan.
Won't this be hard on their Russian and Gulf states benefactors?
'no consequences' is the motto for today's GOP
NASA reminded us all that, even in the darkest of times, our flag is still there. 🇺🇸 ❤️
Beats me, but pretty sure none of us are the guy with the whip in that picture.
Before Donald Trump launched this unnecessary and costly war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, gas was $1 less and 13 more American servicemembers were alive.
Only someone as deeply incompetent, delusional and unfit as Trump would see this as “winning.”
Iran now controls a Strait that was fully open before Trump started this. American lives are lost, more than 300 injured, sanctions lifted, gas almost $5, damage to US bases...
Now, Trump is getting us into a joint venture that puts Iran in an even better position than before.
the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment
The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.
The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.
Congress is on recess.
This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.
Dems need to get back to D.C. and act as if Congress is in session trying to solve problems while the Republicans vacation.
Silly me, I thought the Justice department was about getting justice... you know, like justice for the victims of elite pedophiles
Read @jvl.bsky.social on a subtler cost of Trump's Iran War: the US's ability to borrow on the cheap
"If petrodollar system were to change, then America’s ability to finance debt as cheaply as we do would be imperiled. And so our ability to sustain Social Security & Medicare would be imperiled, too"
I think that was an alternate timeline we split off from in the early 1980s :/
Definitely looking forward to 'moonday', April 6th!
Infuriating and disgraceful. Trump and Markwayne Mullin, and for that matter the United States Congress, could stop this at any moment.

Cool that he covered a song by Bruce Cockburn. 'Stealing Fire' and his Christmas album are two of my favorites.
I think it is cool they will be going around the Moon on Monday.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post by President Trump that reads: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump is clearly unfit to be President. But do not let that explain away the evil of his threatening war crimes against the Iranian people, on Easter Sunday no less.
We cannot let Trump normalize this.
Normalization of Trump's behavior by our institutions is a big part of why we are where we are now.
NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.
“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.
The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane
Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”
